Training for Reactive Dogs
Getting to the Bottom of Dogs with Behavior Issues
Does your dog struggle with challenging behavior issues that keep you feeling stuck, embarrassed, or nervous? We can help.
Reactivity isn’t one-size-fits-all—every dog, family, and situation is unique. We guide pet parents toward real, lasting solutions by asking the right questions and addressing what’s often overlooked. Our 1:1 Coaching provides personalized support to navigate your dog’s reactivity, even if previous training hasn’t worked. With the right approach, you and your dog can move forward with understanding and success.

Behavior Consultation
$185
Dogs with behavior challenges need more than just training. A behavior consultation is a 90 minute session designed to unpack your dog’s behavior, giving you a solid understanding of the what/why/how. We’ll do a thorough review of your dog’s behavior history, go over strategies to prevent the unwanted behavior(s) from occurring, and teach targeted training exercises that will make the most impact. We’ll also explore relationship dynamics, enrichment, and your routine to ensure you feel confident in meeting your dog’s individual needs for comprehensive behavior change. At the end of the consultation, we can recommend the training program that would best suit your needs. Includes video review prior to consultation (for assessment purposes), and personalized training plan.
Suitable For:
Behavior challenges such as leash reactivity, aggression, anxiety, shy/fearful dogs, and resource guarding
Leash Reactivity Assessment
$175
A 90 minute assessment designed specifically for dogs who are reactive on leash, and for owners who have tried other training programs without success. If you continue to struggle with your dog’s reactivity and feel like you’re still missing a piece to the puzzle, this assessment is designed to fill in the gaps. This assessment includes everything that a Behavior Consultation does, but with an emphasis on examining your current skill set, reinforcement strategies, and your dog’s thresholds via videos that are sent prior to the consultation. Learn how to truly understand your reactive dog, and execute your training more effectively to begin making real progress towards your goals. The requirements for a leash reactivity assessment are:
You have worked with another positive reinforcement-based trainer(s) and have an understanding of R+ training and concepts such as thresholds.
You have the ability to record video clips of your dog throughout your walk for assessment purposes
If you do not meet these requirements, a Behavior Consultation will be a better fit. At the end of the consultation, we can recommend the training program that would best suit your needs.

While virtual training is hugely helpful for most behavior and training challenges, we understand there are some limitations. Because of this, we suggest booking a free Discovery Call so we can learn more about your needs, and determine whether virtual training is right for you.
